Category Rules

Lower thirds are usually arranged in tiers, or lines:One-tier lower thirds — Usually used to identify a story that is being shown, or to show a presenter's name.

Two-tier lower thirds — Used most often to identify a person on screen. Often the person's name will appear on the first line, with his or her place of residence or a description below it. Two-tier lower thirds may also be used as "locators" to identify where a story is taking place.

Three-tier lower thirds — These lower thirds add more information. Commonly the first tier is used to tell when the video was shot, if it was not shot the day the newscast is airing.
